Shimura Danzo finally arrived at Bo Fung Watergate.
"I thought you were dead. You look quite spirited, "Bo Fung Watergate appeared in front of Shimura Danzo's bed with two bowls of Ichinoku Classic Ramen.
"Little brat, there's a phrase called the final radiance of the setting sun!" Shimura Danzo leaned on the bed quietly, almost motionless. "It's a pity that I've delayed you and your son's two-person world, but you'll have plenty of time to be filial to your son in the future. So I, who's dying, is more important, isn't it?"
"I know there's someone in the Anbu. Don't worry, I won't ask who it is." Bo Fung Watergate pulled a chair and sat down. He opened the package of Ichinoku Classic Ramen and ate happily with the takeout bowl. "Haven't you already made your will?"
"I know there's someone in the Anbu. Don't worry, I won't ask who it is." Shimura Danzo said slowly, looking at Watergate who was eating seriously. "But your Anbu is really not as considerate as my Anbu to make his boss starve like this."
"What's there to be considerate about? Anyway, I'm Naruto, and they're Naruto's Anbu." Watergate continued to eat the noodles. Soon, there was only soup left in the first bowl. "How about it? Anyway, you're going to die. Just give me your Anbu. "
"Okay." Shimura Danzo's voice was resolute.
"… Thank you very much." Watergate finished the soup, put down the bowl, and tore open the second bowl of ramen. "I'll take good care of them for you."
"Oh, thank you very much." Danzō sneered. "I know you'll take good care of them for me."
"Oh. What other requests do you have? " After eating half a bowl of noodles, Watergate finally raised his head. Suddenly, he found that Danzō was smiling at him in a weird way. He suddenly felt uncomfortable. "I'm really busy. If you have something to say, just say it."
"I'm also very busy." Danzō's voice was still very calm.
"In a hurry to die?" Watergate put down Yile and looked at Danzō, who instantly stiffened after hearing his words, and finally felt a little better.
"Yes, I'm busy dying." Danzō said through gritted teeth, "But if you piss me off now, you'll be even busier."
"It's just a funeral. I can solve the problem in an hour." Watergate continued to eat his noodles with his head lowered. "I can also take a short break during the moment of silence."
"Bo Fung Watergate! I'm also a high-ranking elder. Don't you feel that it's disappointing to let the ninjas, who are finally on holiday, attend a funeral during the New Year? "
"It's rare to get together. After the funeral, we can catch up and drink. Don't worry, everyone will thank you."
…
"… I'll try to die on the last day of the New Year's holiday." Danzō gritted his teeth, raised his trembling hand, which was already a handful of bones and even a little deformed, and pointed at Watergate. "And … little Watergate, is the black suit you're wearing specially prepared for my funeral?"
"It's a coincidence." Watergate smiled and waved his chopsticks. "This is the formal suit for this year's National Capital Ball. You summoned me in such a hurry that I thought you asked me to collect the corpse, so I didn't change — really."
"Is there anyone who brings ramen to collect a corpse?"
"I'm hungry."
"Starving won't kill you! If you came and I was a corpse, you could really deal with the corpse while eating the damn ramen! "
"It's not like I haven't done it before." Watergate drank a mouthful of soup. "When it's time to eat, it's time to eat."
"…" Danzō, who almost choked, gasped for breath. "Bo Fung Watergate, you unqualified Naruto — Naruto is not like you! Look, you're so busy that you don't even have time to eat. "
"Ah." Watergate continued to drink his soup. "I actually have time to eat, but who's the reason for this? To be honest, I hate you seniors more and more. "
"Oh! You have complaints, right? Don't blame others if you don't do well enough! Why are you doing this? Childish! You're always so childish! This is politics! I'm not asking you to lead a team to do a mission! " Danzō tried to control his emotions. "I shouldn't have listened to you. You should have listened to me from the start. If you did as I said, we wouldn't be in so much trouble now!"
"Hey, you're not Naruto." Watergate was still calm.
But Danzō seemed to be really irritated. "I think you look like him!"
"This is called the face comes from the heart."
"Tsk …" Danzō could only take a breath and shake his head. "You should listen to me. Although I cooperated with your economic plan, I still don't have much confidence in the future of this plan. Little Watergate, are you really sure that the world is what you think it is? Yes, interest is the only value that can make people give up their prejudices, but the economy, or money, or material, or power, or reputation, are not important to everyone. Of course, for most people, these are enough, but the dangerous people who are a real threat don't care about these things. "
"The fear of death really affects your IQ, senior."
Watergate was a little helpless. "Have you forgotten? The focus is not on those things from the beginning. "
"I know, I'm afraid that you'll get burned by playing with fire."
"Don't say it as if doing the mission is not dangerous. It will be more fun later. Besides, the arrow has left the bow and there is no regret. "
"But if you miss the target, how are you going to apologize?"
"Just like you, I'll definitely die earlier than the ending."
"…" Shimura Danzō paused for a few seconds and took a deep breath. His hand trembled as he pointed at Watergate again. "What sin did they commit at that time to choose you as Naruto?"
"Huh? Isn't it the same as when we chose the king? I'm sorry, I accidentally grew up too fast. "Bo Fung Watergate smiled brightly.
Danzō suppressed his heavy breathing. "In short, I'm dead, and the root is yours. You can merge with the Anbu, keep it, or even disband it. Don't mistreat them!"
"When Konoha's finances were at its worst, I didn't skimp on any ninja's salary, medical care, and pension."
"That's the only good thing about you."
"…"
"… Make it clean when you collect the body."
"Don't worry, I've been on the frontline for so many years. I'm pretty good at destroying bodies. Is there anything you want to bury under the memorial tablet?"
"Help me bury the forehead protector."
"Okay." Watergate paused. "Do you like to squeeze together with your deceased comrades' names, or do you like to mark the time as a historical coordinate?"
"Heh." Shimura Danzō snorted. "Whatever."
"So casual? This is the only time in your life. Don't regret it. "
"He's already dead. What's there to care about?"
So Bo Fung Watergate looked at the old man with wrinkles and bones all over his face. He really didn't know what to say.
"You're really not keeping it? I won't regret it. "
"Have you ever seen a root growing on the ground? Anyway … "
What's the point of leaving a name in the world when you're already dead?
…
Konoha 58
Land of Fire
A point on a straight line from the National Capital to Konoha.
3: 35 p.m. The sun was shining brightly.
Four people from Kakashi's class, and three rabbits.
"I'm hungry." Naruto Uzumaki's stomach had been growling for a while. He was now lying on a big rock under the tree, chewing on a grass root.
"Don't tell me you didn't bring food when you went out." Sasuke was lying next to Naruto.
"You two, let's play rock-paper-scissors to see who's going to hunt." Kakashi was lying next to Sasuke, reading a book happily.
"Sensei, why don't you go? You didn't eat lunch either." Sakura was lying next to Kakashi.
"Because sensei, I can go back to Konoha to eat in the cafeteria with Thor." Kakashi turned to look at Sakura with a warm smile.
But Sakura still felt that her sensei's smile was very annoying. "Naruto, you go. Aren't you the hungriest one? "
"My grades aren't good, and I'm not good enough. You guys will starve to death when I come back from hunting." Naruto continued chewing on the grass root. "First place, you go."
"Second place, don't you want to surpass first place once?" Sasuke had already closed his eyes to enjoy the sun. "Seize this opportunity. You'll never be second place again."
"Now I think second place isn't bad either." Naruto also closed his eyes like Sasuke. "Sakura, I'll give you a chance. You don't want to be a medical ninja, right? Go hunt and prove your fighting ability. "
Sakura turned over and sat up. "I have something I want to do. Young masters, please leave cooking to this little girl."
…
"Hey, three Genin — can you be a little more flexible?" Kakashi couldn't bear it anymore. He really just wanted to quietly read interesting novels under the beautiful sunshine without anyone's supervision.
In an instant, the six eyes of the other three people on the rock met the six eyes of the three tightly tied rabbits on the grass under the rock.
…
"No." Sakura objected.
"Why not?" Naruto expressed his doubts.
"I think it's okay." Sasuke agreed.
"But haven't the three rabbits been ordered to eat hot pot with the other students?" Sakura continued to object.
"Are you sure the rabbit hot pot is delicious? It's so fat." Naruto was still doubtful.
"I think it's better to roast such fat rabbits. When we go back, I'll treat everyone to veal hot pot." Uchiha's second son said affirmatively.
Then …
In the evening, Kakashi dragged his tired and weak feet into the 24-hour/7-day Konoha cafeteria with an empty stomach. The three Genin happily went back home. Two went to find their mother, and one went to find his father.
Three people, three rabbits, just right.
…
Konoha 60, January 3.
Fire Country, Konoha.
8 p.m.
Naruto's office.
"Watergate, don't go back to work as soon as you come back." Uchiha Fugaku ate the snacks Naruto brought back from the National Capital. He ate the hot spring steamed buns he brought back from the hot spring with his wife.
Naruto flipped through the documents during his absence, ignoring the foodie Uchiha. "Hinata, Logistics Department, get ready. Danzō -sama said he will pass away on the last day of the New Year holiday."
"On the 7th? Yes, sir. "Hinata also ignored Uchiha Fugaku and stood at attention.
"Nara, the Intelligence Department's follow-up report on the National Capital for three days doesn't need to be given to me. Just give it to the General Staff Department."
"Yes, sir." Shikaku Nara also didn't look at Uchiha.
"Yamanaka, organize the report and send it to everyone. Just give me a brief."
"Yes, sir." Hiroyuki Yamanaka glanced at Uchiha, whose mouth was full of food, but his eyes were full of contempt.
Uchiha Fugaku finally realized that the atmosphere in the office was not normal. "What's wrong? Why is everyone so quiet today? Is it really because of that old man Shimura Danzō? He's so old, it's normal for him to die. "
"Of course, maybe you, Uchiha Fugaku, will be accidentally killed by a flower pot when you go out tomorrow." Bo Fung Watergate finally looked at Konoha's Security Minister. "Your security department should also be careful. You know, the more secure it seems, the easier it is for something to go wrong in the end. It doesn't matter if you die as an apology, but don't drag me into being hunted down by Mikoto -san. "
"…" Uchiha was speechless.
"Well, everyone, I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." Before he finished speaking, Bo Fung Watergate took the hot spring steamed bun that Fugaku brought him and disappeared without a trace.
…
"What's wrong with him today?" Fugaku asked around blankly.
"He's in a bad mood. Can't you see it?" Shikaku Nara organized the documents and put them in the cabinet.
"He and Danzō don't have a good relationship." Fugaku looked embarrassed as if he had done something wrong.
"Who knows, but you shouldn't appear in front of him for the next two days. You're just a lovey-dovey guy who goes to the hot spring with his wife."
Many things are not one person's fault, but someone has to bear the responsibility.
…
Konoha 60, January 3rd, Sunny
The first thing Naruto Uzumaki did when he got home was to put the new shaver in the bathroom and leave the old one as a backup.
The first thing Sakura Haruno did when she got home was to talk to her parents about the interesting things that happened on the way home. Fortunately, she did not forget about the confidentiality agreement.
